RIO DE JANEIRO -- Kenora’s Santo Condorelli missed Olympic bronze by 3/100ths of a second on Wednesday night.

Condorelli instead settled for fourth in the men’s 100-metre freestyle race, 0.3 seconds behind American Nathan Adrian, who captured bronze.

Australia’s Kyle Chalmers won gold in a time of 47.58, 0.22 ahead of Belgium’s Pieter Timers.

"I know I don't have the same back half as these guys do," Condorelli told the CBC. "I'm used to going out fast."

"I just went for it — had fun with it."

It was a personal best for Condorelli.

"I'm not too worried about it. It's my first Olympics just here enjoying the moment, yeah it kind of sucks, I wanted to be top three but there's another Olympics in me," Condorelli told the network.
